And secondly, we have supposedly found our "franchise QB" and I would love it if the front office started placing more importance on protecting him.
Two first round picks (including two in their first two drafts), extended the contract of a previous second round pick, spent big money on a guard that is no longer with the team, signed one of the most expensive offensive line coaches in the NFL.
Seattle have put a lot of importance on the offensive line, and when Okung and Breno have been healthy, the line has done it's job.
Wilson's development will not be highly impacted by a first round guard. It could easily be impacted with a top notch big receiver who can be a third down and red zone demon.
Besides, we're talking about what looks like it could potentially be a legendary draft for receivers with as many as 5-6 going in round one. To put it bluntly, it's a crap year for guards in round one.
